About Linda

I am a registered nurse and specialize in helping RN and PN candidates prepare for the NCLEX licensing exam. Tutoring can be done face-to-face or on-line, using guided review of practice questions and other resources. Many of my successful students are non-native speakers of English or came to me with special challenges, such as severe test anxiety, dyslexia or other learning differences. I individualize my approach according to the needs, schedule and budget of each student.

In addition, I offer tutoring in ESL conversation and especially enjoy working with young children. If you are new to the city, I can plan lessons around visits to different neighborhoods and attractions.I am a registered nurse and specialize in helping RN and PN candidates prepare for the NCLEX licensing exam.

"Great NCLEX-RN Tutor!"

- Claire, San Mateo, CA on 8/17/14

I needed some extra help preparing for my NCLEX exam. Linda provided great practice questions and taught me different ways to approach and think about each question. She also helped me identify my weaknesses so I knew what to focus on. Using her methods and study plan I was able to pass the NCLEX the first time!

"Linda is very knowledgeable and understanding."

- Latoia, Houston, TX on 7/15/15

Linda taught me how to break down the question to see what the question was asking me. What I like about Linda is that she is really patient and that she made sure that I understood the question before we went to the next one. What Linda helped me accomplish is patience when it comes to reading each question. This was a great session!

"BEST NCLEX Tutor!!! "

- Megan, Mount Laurel, NJ on 6/4/15

First off, I would like to say that whether you are a repeat test-taker (like myself) or first time test taker NCLEX-RN can seem very intimidating and stressful. Linda alleviates all of this!! I worked with Linda for approx 3 months after being unsuccessful my first two attempts at NLCEX - took all 265 questions both times with exactly the same results both times :( After Linda's initial assessment of me, she was able to determine exactly what my weakness was!! Personally for me, it was my test question strategy. We worked on breaking multiple higher level questions down using strategies she offered. Those strategies are why I JUST PASSED my NLCEX with approx 118 questions!!! If you are struggling to pass NCLEX or needing extra help, PLEASE SEARCH NO FURTHER!!!! Linda was very flexible with tutoring times to fit various schedules , encouraging, patient and extremely knowledgeable. Also, we did all our lessons on-line as we live in different states and it the online classroom was very user friendly and easy to navigate. I feel so blessed to have come across Linda's profile here on WyzAnt; she IS the reason I can say I finally PASSED this final hurdle that us nursing students must overcome to begin practicing nursing. Thank You, Linda... Words cannot express the gratitude and excitement I feel! You ROCK :)))

"Great tutor!"

- Elizabeth, San Francisco, CA on 4/17/15

Linda was professional and made herself available to fit my schedule. In regards to teaching, she helped approaching the question in different ways and was great with showing the different strategies which gave me the confidence I needed in feeling calm throughout the exam. I recommend Linda as a tutor to assist in passing the NCLEX RN.

"Excellent Tutor and great practice for NCLEX! "

- Eddie, Orange, CA on 3/13/15

Linda G is an excellent tutor and helped me develop confidence in my test taking thought processes and strategies. She provided me with thorough notes correlating with the material she went over and our session were highly productive. I have recently passed my NCLEX exam and have her to thank for the training of my brain in "test mode" and how to manage during a highly stressful exam. I did audio sessions with her online where we could go over questions she would display on the WyzAnt interface and I would talk through questions and say my reasoning out loud. Overall I found Linda to be very helpful to me, as an audio and visual learner, the methods used to teach proved to be very beneficial to me. If you can see her in person, well even better! I highly recommend Linda G as an NCLEX tutor. If you're looking to sharpen your test taking abilities and thought process or just need some more hands on guidance in your preparation for NCLEX Linda is highly qualified to help you!
Thanks again, Linda!

"Simply... Amazing!! "

- Renee , Wilmington, NC on 2/28/15

She has restored confidence needed to successfully prepare for a difficult nursing exam. Within minutes she was able to zero in on the problem my husband was having with NCLEX type questions. I can't express how blessed I feel to have found this company and Linda! God bless you Linda G., you went above and beyond.

"I Passed!"

- Megan, South Jordan, UT on 2/25/15

I did four lessons with Linda. She was a great tutor and explained how to answer the questions. I had taken the NCLEX-RN three times previously getting 265 questions. I can finally say that I passed on the fourth time with 265 questions. Thank you Linda!

"Great tutor, worth every penny!"

- Diana, Pomona, CA on 1/23/15

I highly recommend Linda! After failing NCLEX the first time, I knew that I needed additional help in order to be successful. Linda is very knowledgeable, patient, and overall a genuinely kind person. She knows what it takes to beat NCLEX and provides you with the tools to reach your goal. Thanks to Linda I can finally say I am nurse!

"My NCLEX-RN Hero!"

- Jennifer, San Diego, CA on 1/21/15

In desperation I was looking for help passing NCLEX. After 3 attempts (each time taking the entire 265 questions), I knew I needed something more. I came across Linda's profile, read her reviews and background; I was definitely impressed and decided to take a chance. Right away Linda was able to assess my weakness. She was patient, knowledgeable, easy to connect with, and offered great study tricks and tips. Just recently I am happy to report I passed with 77 questions and am a RN! I really do owe this to Linda. She helped build my confidence and approach this beast of a test in a different way. Making the decision to connect with Linda is one I am grateful for. Thank you Linda for all your help!

"Fantastic Tutor!!"

- Serena , San Bruno, CA on 12/2/14

I signed up with Linda after failing my NCLEX. I was immediately impressed when I met her. She first looked over my NCLEX score to assess what my weaknesses were, and we started getting to work right away. Every session we had, she was very prepared and brought her own materials. She brought tons of practice questions, medication cheat sheets, and more.

Linda helped me to really work through the questions and think about what it was really asking. I started to see a vast improvement in how I attacked the questions. I ended up passing my NCLEX in 83 questions thanks to Linda. I recommend her to anyone. She is absolutely the best!!

"Amazing Tutor!"

- Sadie, South Jordan, UT on 11/19/14

After not passing NCLEX I was feeling very discouraged and hesitant to try again. I started working with Linda and she gave me the confidence I needed to pass. She was very patient and always took time to answer any questions I had. She made me feel like I could do it! I have never worked with a better tutor. I highly recommend Linda for anyone that needs an extra boost. She was truly fantastic. I took my test again and passed and I owe it all to Linda. She made my dream come true!

"Excellent skills for tutoring"

- Deborah, Menlo Park, CA on 11/16/14

This was my first meeting with Linda G. but her background in nursing and teaching Kaplan is going to be very instrumental for me to pass the NCLEX. Linda's manner is calm and her technique on how to prepare for the NCLEX is excellent!

"Very Patient and an Excellent Tutor! "

- Doris, Martinez, CA on 5/22/14

After being unsuccessful with the NCLEX multiple times I finally began researching for tutors and found Linda. She helped me realize the majority of my problem was from test anxiety. She is an amazing tutor that is very knowledgeable and patient, and will work with you on testing strategies to master the NCLEX. She helped me increase my self confidence which is half the battle. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

"Great Results!!"

- Molly, San Mateo, CA on 4/14/14

I contacted Linda through WyzAnt after I failed the NCLEX-RN. A friend in a similar situation recommended her and I am very fortunate he did. Linda is patient, prompt, knowledgeable, and a good teacher. She taught me a new approach to the NCLEX exam which proved beneficial. While Linda made me feel more confident and prepared for the exam, she was also straightforward and honest with me about weaknesses I needed to strengthen. She helped me develop a plan to re-take my exam and evaluate my progress every session to make sure I was on track. She has great materials and questions for practice. One of the biggest things I was able to take away from our sessions was increased confidence. I was really down after not passing the first time so this new confidence fueled me going into my second attempt. I passed my NCLEX and I know it was in part because of her help.

"Highly Recommended!"

- Maegan, Panama City, FL on 4/6/14

Ms. Linda is a very good tutor. She is very easy to talk to, super nice, patient, and a very good teacher. I took two different RN-NCLEX test prep courses and attempted the NCLEX twice and was unsuccessful. I then found this website and contacted Ms. Linda for help. I quickly learned that she taught me more than the test prep courses that I spent A LOT of money on and did not work. She walked me through step by step until I was able to do it on my own. Not only did she help me understand how to answer NCLEX style questions, she also helped me build back my confidence. I retook the exam on Friday and I just learned that I PASSED!!! I highly recommend Ms. Linda! I couldn't have done this without her.

"Makes Learning Fun!"

- Mike, San Francisco, CA on 3/8/14

Linda is amazing. She finds methods to make learning fun for our daughter. She is always prompt and professional. She has incredible patience and a keen ability to channel our daughter's energies into educational exercises.

"Passed NCLEX on 1st TRY!"

- Briana, San Francisco, CA on 2/6/14

Linda is a fabulous tutor. She is patient, honest, and truly wants you to be successful! Her tips & insights really helped me approach each question confidently - In addition to looking for patterns and slowing down. I would definitely recommend Linda to anyone who needs a little extra help and one-on-one time with their NCLEX studies!

"Best tutor ever!!!"

- Shale, Hayward, CA on 8/15/13

Linda is a great tutor. She is patient, kind, and really has a passion for helping her students. After working with Linda, I was able to pass the NCLEX RN Board. She is very accommodating to your time schedule and needs. She helped me on improving my problem areas and how to become a better test taker. The first time we met, we hit it off. While working with Linda, I felt more confident in my abilities and ready to take the Board. Thank you so much Linda for all your help and guidance. Definitely the best tutor I have ever had!

"Extremely valuable tutoring sessions"

- Michael, San Rafael, CA on 7/18/13

This week Linda helped me to continue to slow down my answering of questions. She also prompted me to identify what each question was really asking, and how I could eliminate answers based on simply reading what was given. Each session with Linda I gain more confidence and jump off to the next day with a more positive testing attitude. They are extremely valuable tutoring sessions. Thanks Linda!!!

7/16/2013

Again Linda's insight and knowledge in working through these questions with me continues to improve my confidence in answering these questions. She never rushes me, and at times prompts me to think about the questions in alternative ways so that I may come to the answer more efficiently. I thoroughly appreciate the time we have spent together. I believe it will pay off when it comes time to take the NCLEX once again. Thanks you so much Linda!!!

"She always has good suggestions."

- Cristina, San Francisco, CA on 6/13/13

She knows very well San Francisco and she has a lot of information that like to share with her students.

Approved subjects

In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.

Elementary (K-6th)

I have many years experience working as a reading tutor and volunteer with children from pre-school to high school levels. I teach Englishvocabulary, reading, and language arts to children who speak another language at home as well as general kindergarten readiness. I have developed many resources and learning materials that will keep a young child interested and excited about learning.

ESL/ESOL

Although I do not have formal training as a teacher, I have several years experience hosting teenagers and young adults for English immersion homestays. This involves evaluating each student's language ability and creating my own lesson plans based on the individual's interests and needs. I also have volunteer experience leading conversation practice groups for ESL students at a local ESL school.

NCLEX

I am a registered nurse and I taught NCLEX prep classes for a national test preparation company for several years. I am prepared to work with students on test-taking strategies specific to NCLEX type questions.
